As with many things, it depends on the server.  "Shoutcast" streaming
audio servers, for instance, default to port 8000, but can be
configured to operate on any port.  I don't know about 'RealAudio' or
others, but I imagine it's a similar story.

You could block everything by default, and only permit the ports
corresponding to services you want to allow people to use.
